Hello everyone, How could we design post-tensioned beam in SAFE? Can you the step by step procedure? Thanks, Structect 08

Hi all, How can we get the Ss and S1 when using the seismic provisions of ASCE 7 outside USA? Thanks structech

Hi all, How can we see the calculation of rho value in ETABS 2015? Thanks, Structech

Hello, Where can we find the computation of ETABS program for the rho value? We usually assumed the value of rho, but how could we verify our assumptions of rho in the ETABS program computation? Thank you, Structech 08

Hi ddudley88, We are planning to purchase ETABS 2013. How is this ETABS 2013 compare to old version? Can it provide shop drawings and bill of quantities? Thanks, Structech08

Hi Johnbridge231, Thank you. Structech08

Dear All, For those living outside USA (do not have spectral map acceleration outside USA) who wants to adapt the earthqauke provisions of ASCE 7, how do we compute or convert the UBC 97 provisions to get the ASCE seimic parameters like Ss, S1, etc? Thank you for your kind attention. Structech08

Hi Johnbridge231, Thank you for your reply. Regards, Structech08

Dear Guys, In ETABS, when do we use the "Special Seismic Design Data"? This will increase the load combination if we click this data. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this data? Thanks, Structech08

Hi Monchie, The default mode shape for the dynamic analysis is 12. But we can change the number of modes to get at least 90% (or 80%)of the modal mass participation ratio as per UBC 97 is conncerned. PicoStruc intention is very precautionary in nature due to complexity of the subject matter...

Hi Guys, Thank you for your inputs. I appreciate it. Regards, Structech 08

Hello, For concrete structure, how do you detail a pin connection between the column and foundation? Is it right to detail a moment connection in your drawings even if we assumed a pin connection in our structural analysis for foundation support? What are the consequence if do nott follow our...

HI yrevdoog, I am registered structural engineer in the Philippines, attached is the wind pressure for the different locations in the Philippines. Should you need further assistance, just inform me. Regards, Structech08...

Hi Guys, Thank you for your input. Regards, structech08

Hello, Which is more reliable, Axial Static or PDA? What is the pros and cons of these tests? Thanks, Structech08

Hello, The UBC 97 earthquake code is anticipated with stand magnitude M7.0+. Using the same UBC 97 code, how could we adjust the seismic parameters in the UBC to accomodate magnitude M8.9? Thanks, Structech08

Hi Laguns, To send us your etabs model to verify. Thanks, structech08

Hi Slickdeals, Thank you so much. Regards, structech 08

Hi All, In ETABS, from define menu, there is a Special Seismic Load Effect. When do we use or apply this Special Seismic Load Effect in our structural analysis? What is the importance of this command? Kindly eloborate your explanations. Thank you, structech 08

Leakimable, Being a newly registered civil engineer will not qualify you immediately as structural engineer. Note well that, in the Philippines, there is an association called ASEP (Association of the Structural Engineers in the Phlippines) who are the practicing structural engineers under a...
